Ibn 'Iyad

Ibn 'Iyad was the governor of Lerida under the Almoravid Emirate in the first half of the 12th century. When King Alfonso I of Aragon laid siege to the town of Fraga in northeastern Spain in 1134, Ibn 'Iyad and Emir of Murcia Yahya ben Ghaniya marched to the city's relief, and the smaller Moorish army defeated and killed Alfonso in the ensuing battle.
